We use the functional renormalization group equation for quantum gravity to construct a nonperturbative flow equation for modified gravity theories of the form $S=\ensuremath{\int}{d}^{d}x\sqrt{g}f(R)$. Based on this equation we show that certain gravitational interaction monomials can be consistently decoupled from the renormalization group (RG) flow and reproduce recent results on …
